Helen Schmill, a Wyoming poet, offers this adaptation of John Milton’s epic poem as Paradise Lost 2011, a reading play for the churches and the schools. The timeless story is presented as drama, with simple stage settings and costume suggestions. The difficult text need not be memorized.
These original hymns refl ect the strength and love received from the selected Old Testament Scriptures during Helen Schmill's lifetime, often during times of trial. The poetry is meant to be clear, easy to read. and a comfort for others in similar need. Helen credits the Holy Spirit for the work. The 79 poems were written in 20 days. She is currently at work on the companion volume, A Grandmother's New Testament Hymns.
